  • Hello lovely people!

  • So I recently posted a video about migraines and it seemed like some people were a little

  • surprised at what migraines actually feel like.

  • - if youve no idea how bad a migraine is, youve never had a migraine.

  • And it made me consider other surprising things about becoming disabled that are… ‘disability

  • misconceptionsif you will.

  • Particularly about actually BECOMING disabled

  • - because, shockingly, not all people are born with their disability [gasp]

  • That’s a little misleading on my part: I was actually born with my disability, it just

  • decided not to properly start smacking me in the face until my late teens. Probably

  • because I was such a weird looking child.

  • Yes, that’s my natural hair colour.

  • Anyway! I didn’t know I was disabled, I didn’t really know what being disabled was

  • like at all and I definitely had some misconceptions.

  • And maybe you do too

  • - (maybe that’s why someone sent you this video)

  • Or maybe you just like learning new things, or maybe you really painfully are aware of

  • all of these and just need a bit of solidarity.

  • Whether youre disabled yourself or you love someone who is, youll probably relate

  • to these and please do leave any others in the comments below!

  • So here are 10 surprising things about becoming disabled:

  • 1. It doesn’t actually get you lots of attention. You think it would. But it won’t.

  • No one actually throws you a party.

  • - Yay, Party!

  • [slurp sfx]

  • And youll probably lose some friends you thought you could count onBut you can

  • use the internet to make cool new ones!

  • Party!

  • [kiss sfx]

  • 2. You also won’t be getting lots of money.

  • That wholebenefit scroungers’, ‘faking it for the disability moneything…?

  • No.

  • No one can be arsed filling in a 70 page document for that little money!

  • 3. No team of glamorous and witty doctors with pent up sexual chemistry and a burning

  • desire to find the truth at all costs will be attempting to diagnose you.

  • In fact, youll probably just spend many hours on the internet attempting to diagnose

  • yourself and then finding a doctor that has the time to agree to the blindingly obvious.

  • On the plus side, you would now be excellent at medical pub quizes.

  • [typing sfx]

  • Um, I think you'll find...

  • 4. There will not be a miracle medical cure- unless the doctors realise that the thing

  • they told you was progressive and going to kill you isn’t actuallyat least, not

  • until youre old anyway.

  • It’s best not to search for the golden bullet but try to fit your life around your body

  • 5. you won't be getting the medical or mobility equipment that you need -

  • hmmm

  • I mean unless you're willing to wait for many, many years. Or youre just loaded and can

  • buy them from your own money anyway. But youre probably going to have to ask a charity for

  • help if you can’t wait.

  • And that’s in England. I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like without the NHS

  • 6. If you need a carer all the time you- you

  • don’t actually get a carer all the time.

  • They probably drop in for half an hour a day to move you, check youve taken your meds

  • and then leave.

  • Also, if you have any kind of disability that affects your cognitive processes or mental

  • health you will struggle to fill in all of those forms

  • and access the help.

  • 7. People will talk to you. All the time. Random people. About really personal things.

  • They will also touch you. Even when you don’t want them to.

  • They will take the thing you need and put it where you can no longer reach it. To be

  • helpful. And they will expect you to saythank you”.

  • 8. People will not talk to you. Or touch you. They will get really awkward.

  • They will walk around you in a massive circle and talk to theable-bodiedperson behind

  • you. They will ask your sign language interpreter what your favourite drink is.

  • - Eh? Ask her yourself.

  • - I'm right here.

  • Bless those silly sausages(!)

  • 9. The world isn’t actually that accessible. Remember how you used to not see disabled

  • people that much? Or you’d thinkdisabled people don’t come here anywayor even

  • well, they could go somewhere else to eat”?

  • Ha ha, no

  • One in five people has a disability. Theyre just sitting at home because it’s

  • really hard to get into lots of buildings.

  • Yeah...

  • 10. You still have a voice. No matter what anyone tells you, no matter how the world

  • might sometimes make you feel, you are still you. Disabled people have voices, we can speak

  • up and we can decide what others need to know about our situations and when we need to stop

  • sharing and protect ourselves.

  • We know best whataccessibilityreally means. So if a gathering is being planned,

  • an event, a new building, a school, it’s important to include disabled people in the

  • planning of it. There are many things you learn when you become disabled, these are

  • just 10 of them.

  • So those are just my 10 things but please add more of your own down below in the comments.

  • I hope you've enjoyed this video and I shall see you in my next one!

  • [kiss]
